Overview of Gateway at Tempe
Gateway at Tempe is a student housing property located at Tempe, AZ 85288, USA, in the Chandler area. It offers a range of unit types: studios (listed as 1b), two-bedroom, three-bedroom, four-bedroom, and apartments. Monthly rental prices range from USD 741 to USD 1,451 — indicative figures that should be confirmed directly with the operator. Availability begins from 17 August 2026.

Who Should Consider This Residence
Gateway at Tempe may be a practical fit for:
- Students seeking an established community — One resident described the property as a place where “residents are cared for and valued,” noting consistent cleanliness and safety.
- Returning residents or those familiar with the area — A touring experience review mentioned a returning resident who learned about new amenities and found the financial breakdown helpful for renewal decisions.
- Groups looking for shared living — The availability of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom units makes it possible to live with roommates and potentially reduce individual costs.
The property’s location in Tem places it near Arizona State University, which was referenced in resident feedback. For students who may have missed on-campus housing deadlines, this could be a fallback option — though prospective tenants should verify exact distances and transport links with the operator.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Gateway at Tempe may not suit everyone based on the available feedback:
- Prospective tenants concerned about security — One review noted that “it’s awful easy for non residents to get in,” which may raise concerns about building access control.
- Those who prioritize high overall satisfaction scores — A 3.3 rating (out of 5) from 676 reviews is below average for student accommodation in this price tier. Two of the three quoted reviews are positive, but the volume of mixed feedback behind that rating suggests some recurring issues.
- ASU students who secured on-campus housing — The same review advised readers not to “sleep in for the on campus housing portal opening or else you’ll end up here,” implying the property is seen by some as a backup rather than a first choice.
- Budget-conscious individuals — The property’s starting price of USD 741 per month is significantly higher than the city’s from-price of USD 166 (likely a basic shared room or pod in the Chandler area). For those seeking minimal accommodation costs, other options may be more affordable.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews from Google provide a snapshot of different experiences:

Kailey Barth (5 stars):
“My touring experience today was great. Faith was sweet, funny, and informative. I am a returning resident and I learned about new amenities and perks. Faith was super helpful at breaking down finances and explaining how things work, which definitely boosted my opinion on renewing a lease here.”
macy taylor (2 stars):
“I’m surprised this 2 stars review didn’t bring the average up. If you’re an ASU student make sure to not sleep in for the on campus housing portal opening or else you’ll end up here. For a place called Gateway it’s awful easy for non residents to get in. Apparently broken scooters are a hot commodity around here becaus”
The positive reviews highlight community feel, staff responsiveness, and clear financial communication. The negative review points to access concerns and suggests the property is not a top choice for ASU students who could secure on-campus housing. Note that the third review truncates mid-sentence in the source data.
Price Positioning and Value
Gateway at Tempe’s monthly pricing range of USD 741 to USD 1,451 sits well above the Chandler city from-price of USD 166. This gap is common because the city from-price often reflects the lowest possible rent for a single bed in a shared unit or a smaller room in a budget property. At Gateway, the starting price of USD 741 is roughly 4.5 times higher than that floor price.
For context, Chandler (within the greater Phoenix area) has 48 student properties on the platform, offering a variety of price points. Gateway at Tempe is positioned in the mid-to-upper range of those options. When evaluating value, consider:
- Amenities — Fitness center, laundry, and lounge are included, which may offset some costs compared to renting an apartment without such facilities.
- Unit type — A 1-bedroom apartment will be at the higher end of the price range, while sharing a 4-bedroom unit may bring individual costs closer to the lower end.
- Lease start — Availability from August 2026 aligns with the academic calendar, which could simplify planning.
Prices are indicative — always confirm exact costs, deposit requirements, and any additional fees with the operator before committing.
Room Type and Booking Guidance
Gateway at Tempe offers five unit types: 1b (studio/efficiency), 2b, 3b, 4b, and apartments. The term “apartment” here likely refers to general units that may not fit the bedroom-count labels. For clarity, ask the operator to specify which unit corresponds to each price point.
Booking timing: as of the data date (July 2026), availability is listed from 17 August 2026. This suggests early August is the move-in window. If you are a student starting the fall 2026 semester, booking in July or early August may be advisable to secure a preferred unit type and avoid last-minute limited options. Given the review mentioning that “on campus housing portal” deadlines matter, off-campus housing can fill quickly once those deadlines pass.
